Leslie, you make me feel so normal! I must admit that when I can no longer find anything and have had a tidy up, there's a strange sense of virtuous anticipation that gives me a buzz, but tTidiness and creativity don't seem to sit well with one another do they?

Thanks for your kind words about the studio. Guess what? I had 2 architects come in and look it over today! I was nervous, but decided not to try to pick it up any further because I thought they needed to see the real deal. I'm looking into the feasibility of modifying the space to accommodate my wet work and need for functional storage. I have some ideas, and so did they. It will be an interesting process of discovery. That said, I have NO idea when this will begin. I will need to lay down and fan myself at the thought of moving all this....stuff....out of here for the work to begin. Stay tuned!
